Best Interior Design Solutions for Today's Living

Services

Discovery Call

15 minute free phone call

Let’s have a conversation about what your design needs are and how I can answer any questions you may have about working with an interior designer. This will give me the opportunity to assist you in selecting what services appropriate for your desired results. If we are a good fit, we can discuss scheduling a Consultation, which is the first step in starting any interior design project. We can get to know each other and what your scope of work entails.

Book a Discovery call

Full Service

Initial Advance and billed at hourly rate

This is our signature service. We provide personalized turnkey project delivery, without the added stress for you. We kick off with an Initial Consultation with explanation of the full design process and discuss all the goals you have for your project. We will help you create a budget and timeline, then after that, generate a proposal of service agreement for your approval. We establish weekly design meetings, coordinate with construction trades, and navigate the design and installation of all the interior design elements. This type of project typically occurs over 6-12 month period (depending on the size of project). *See below for more about our initial consultation.

  • Refresh Design – We begin with an in-home meeting to discuss your potential new furniture, window treatments, art, accessories, etc. We will outline your project scope. No additional trades involved. Minimum Project Retainer $3000
  • Remodel Design – We begin with an in-home meeting to discuss painting, wall paper, moving/removing walls, updating flooring, cabinetry/builtins, countertops, etc. If you haven’t selected a licensed contractor to work with, I can connect you with trusted professionals. Minimum Project Retainer $5000 *All remodel services require critical coordination with specialized trades and require project oversight.

eDesign

Priced per room

Fully virtual design services. We will provide a customized package based on your design needs. Meetings are scheduled over Zoom. You implement this package on your own (no remodel, ordering/installation services included). I’m based in Portland Oregon, but a good design solution is not limited by location.

Al-a- cart Consultation

Minimum fee $350 for up to 2 hours

One Time Design Advice. Ask me anything. We meet in your space. Additional time billed at designers hourly rate. These appointments are available as my time permits. Booked Full-Service projects have priority. These are booked by requesting a link to my Calendly for availability. All consultations are paid up front, prior to meeting.

Personal Shopping Services

Billed at designers hourly rate

Let us find the perfect light fixture, furniture, rug, or accessories, whatever your needs are, I will track it down for you.      

Designer for a Day

Minimum fee $625 for up to 5 hours

This service utilizes the furniture and accessories you already own to transform your home as well as suggest a few new pieces to update your look. Additional time billed at designers hourly rate.

  • We empty your room and “shop” your home for forgotten treasures you may have tucked away.  Then we reassemble and physically move your furniture in the most pleasing arrangement for your room, re-hang your artwork, and place your accessories to finish the effect. We then provide you with a plan for the final touches your room may need, perhaps one more picture, an area rug, a lamp for the corner, whatever it is we spell it out for you so you can shop wisely or we can do the shopping for you at any one of a number of sources. It’s not always about replacing everything you already have with new furniture and accessories. Great interior design is about creativity, blending the old with the new, using the pieces you have accumulated over the years with the new things that make your home perfect.  Then adding the accessories that are a true reflection of your family and your lifestyle.  Making your house a delight to come home to at the end of the day. You will be amazed at the end result. I will leave you with ideas you can implement yourself.

More about the Initial Consultation

$350 for up to 2 hours

All Full Service design services start with a consultation. This is where I spend time gathering vital information about you and your lifestyle as well as the desires you have for your home. We set an appointment to visit your home or office. I’ll help you to develop a plan, working within your budget, to invest your money wisely in purchases that add value to your home. 

I’ll discuss your needs for function, your preferred style and what you are looking to invest in the project. We can help with floor plans, furniture selections, color schemes, window treatments, lighting accessories, whatever you need, we’re here for you.

Essentially, this is a stepping stone with intention that you will be moving forward with further design services. Mainly to gather information to prepare your design agreement and scope of work document. If you would like to move forward with the project, a Letter of Agreement will be prepared outlining the scope of work. The retainer & design fee is calculated based on the scope of work specific to your project.

If you would like to schedule an Initial Consultation, contact by scheduling a Discovery call above.

*No design work, materials/furniture selection or re-arranging of furnishings happen during the initial meeting. I will take notes, pictures and basic quick measurements. Appointment day/time is not confirmed until payment is received. Your follow-up proposal of service, concept board, and preliminary budget pricing will be sent approximately 2 weeks later (depending on size of project).

All rates listed for a 20 mile radius, traveling charges may apply. Additional services quoted by the job.

Is custom furniture more expensive than retail? No Is custom furniture more expensive than retail? Not quite.

~> Yes, retail furniture is cheaper. But also, retail furniture is cheaper. Redundant? Of course, but you get the point. If your child is getting ready to furnish their college dorm or first apartment, retail reigns supreme.

~> Yes, custom furniture costs more. Designer brand furniture is initially a bigger investment because it is made of high-quality, genuine materials and constructed by trained artisans.  The cost-benefit analysis is quite revealing over the life cycle of the furniture.

~> Select furniture pieces that last. Instead, you would be better served by working with a designer and a custom furniture line. For  info on how to purchase through a designer and save money, see my latest newsletter & contact me.

Hallways are always a challenge. Here are some id Hallways are always a challenge.  Here are some ideas that are a sure way to add the illusion of space and make a small area more useful.

USE MIRRORS - Add one large mirror or a handful of small ones to the center of the hallway to expand your sight lines.

INCORPORATE STORAGE - Add a wall of cubbies, narrow in depth give the illusion of space and keep things neat and tidy.

PAINT THE WALLS - Paint the hallway a light color to keep it feeling open and bright.

ADD CONTRAST WITH COLOR - Add a focal point at the end of the hallway & choose a color with tones that complement the wall and add a layer of depth to your design.

INCORPORATE MOLDINGS - Either on the ceiling, the baseboard, or add some grid patterns and paint the same color as the wall to give some texture.

WALLPAPER - In a small space a light colored or textured wallpaper can create an illusion of  depth without creating bulk.

20 Years since I got my BFA degree in Interior Des 20 Years since I got my BFA degree in Interior Design from Design Institute of San Diego! This small town country girl moved to San Diego to pursue her dreams in interior design.  Wow, the BIG city... 8 lane freeways, traffic and super tall buildings. I remember all the late nights and all nighters gluing fabric samples and cutting foam core.  It was a great place to learn and grow into a well prepared professional.  I then worked for a large SD Architecture firm as a job captain in corporate design.  Its funny, I had no idea what I was getting into starting school... drafting? materials? building codes? ... it was so much work! But I did it.... and I'm still doing it.... Because with design the education never stops!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Glad such talented people are still preparing new designers for the world to benefit from! Thanks D.I.S.D.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
